In order to solve the problem of business decreasing resulted from inconsistency for accounts payable, the conflict detection of billing rules has become a hot topic in the current research of telecommunications billing system. This paper proposes a policy-based billing rule model using object constraint language. Based on this model, we describe a conflict detection method with multidimensional vectors. Availability and consistency between rules are supported well in this system. Moreover, a prototype system has been developed based on our model.
